Pressure don’t pray

Intro

Yeah…

Pain talk louder than flexing ever could.

I’m really him when it’s quiet.

Verse 1

I done starved with a smile, I ain’t beg for a plate,

Had faith in my spine when my back had weight.

They don’t know bout nights when the walls felt close,

Talking to God like “if I crack, let it show.”

I move militant, mind on punishment,

Heart so cold, still humanitarian.

Love turn lethal when respect get broke,

I forgive, but I never forget what I know.

Hook

Pressure don’t pray, it just sit on your chest,

Either break or become what they fear the most, yes.

I been wrong, I been right, I been both in the flesh,

Still stand on my word, I don’t fold, I confess.

Pressure don’t pray—nah, it test your soul,

When the lights cut off, you alone with the road.

I don’t talk what I didn’t live, that’s code,

If I say it in ink, it’s etched in stone.

Verse 2

I got scars I don’t post, got wars in my head,

Got love for my people, still sleep with the lead.

Every move calculated, I don’t rush revenge,

I let karma do numbers, I just handle the ends.

Mama said “be a king, even chained to the floor,”

So I learned how to stand when I couldn’t no more.

I don’t hate who crossed me, I studied the play,

Now they asking for grace—I already prayed.

Bridge

Ain’t no cap in my cadence,

I talk like I made it out cages.

Pain gave me patience,

Now silence my favorite language.

Hook

Pressure don’t pray, it just sit on your chest,

Either break or become what they fear the most, yes.

I been lost, I been found, I been next to the edge,

Still ten toes down, every breath get respect.

Pressure don’t pray—nah, it sharpen blades,

Turn boys into men in the harshest ways.

I don’t need validation, I’m already saved,

I survived what was sent to put me in graves.

Outro

I ain’t angry…

I’m aware.

Big difference.
